I recently found a lizard inside my house and I'm curious what it is. It has a blue tongue and a black belly.

Pink tongue skink. Their tongues are blue when they are young and turn pink as they get older. Very cool skink.

They are mostly snail eaters in the wild. I have 3. But you guys have a ton of variety of them in Australia. Check out the pink tongue on one of mine.
